Meet The Fastest Mitsubishi EVO In The World

- in Cars

This is the world’s fastest Mitsubishi EVO ever after it blasted down a quarter mile in just 7.884 seconds. The trap speed? Just over 185 mph.

This Mitsubishi EVO is absolutely bonkers thanks to a massive turbo and a 13,000rpm redline. Officially this “monster” entered the zone of “brutality”.

That Evo was built by Extreme Tuners, a work shop in Greece. And that Evo has caused quite a stir over the past years. Why? Well that’s because the Greek creation has broken it’s own world record.. Again. In a one month time period. And we have both videos!

It’s a bit of an animal with a de-stroked 1.8-litre four-pot complete with a gigantic turbo unit with a carbon-fiber impeller, bulging out of the bonnet like a high-horsepower malignant growth. The compression ratio is turned up to 15.8:1, and high-strength rods have been swapped in, along with with a tungsten crankshaft and titanium valves.

Now you have an Evo capable of making more than 2,000 horsepower. It also revs to over 13,000 rpm, which makes for a hilarious view during part of the video. Even with the safety of the four-wheel-drive and super sticky drag tyres the deranged Evo is veering so hard right and left that it looks like the driver’s going in a zig-zag pattern rather than a straight. It’s crazy that the driver can keep the Evo moving where he wants it to go, but he does…and he sets a new record in the process.

Check out the record run in the video below.

We also added a second clip, one that allows you to get a better sample of the thing’s 13,000rpm aural might from the previous record run (7.902 @185.34).
